* A site for the administration of intravenous (IV) injections or infusions. * Fluid replacement. Therefore, how long the drip will be in situ for will depend on the reason for the drip.

Under what conditions does a person need to be on a drip of glucose?
Your question is a little vague. There are two kinds of glucose drip. (1) Patients that have had major surgery may not be capable of taking solid food for some time until they recover sufficiently to feed themselves. Therefore, the patient is given a 'glucose drip' via a tube which is inserted into a nostril - and goes directly into their stomach. The drip not only contains glucose - it also contains salts and minerals. It is intended as a 'short term fix' until the patient can feed themselves again. (2) Patients that have lost a lot of blood from an accident or major surgery - are given an intravenous drip which is intended to replace lost blood until the body can manufacture the lost blood itself.

How does a glucose drip help the patient recover?
'Drip of Glucose' can be referred either to Intravenous infusion of Dextrose (which is a biologically active form of Glucose) or to any Intravenous Fluid. Dextrose (along with a few substances) is the sole source of energy to the brain. IV Dextrose need to be given in diseases where the patient is unable to maintain a blood glucose level essential to sustain vital organ function. The rate of infusion is determined by 'hit and trial' method gradually hiking the rate till normal blood levels could e maintained. IV Fluids are given in conditions where a patient is unable to accept oral feeds/ is not allowed orally due to the disease process so as to provide him the necessary fluids, electrolytes and energy (glucose) to sustain life. IV Fluids are also needed to rehydrate a dehydrated patient.
